The increase is coming in the form of late bookings which, when compared with last year, have increased by about 10%, giving United a welcome increase in demand. As last-minute bookings increase United will add flights or substitute larger aircraft to match demand with capacity.
The outlook for December has improved as well. United announced it will fly 52% of it’s domestic schedule, and 43% of it’s International schedule, in December. This is again an increase over last year with demand for holiday travel driving the late bookings.
